    Headlight issue!!!

    Recently purchased an e64, '08 650i with 75K. Car in good shape so far, but noticed a problem with the passenger side headlight.
    The outer lights are the Xenon lights, and the inner are Halogen, this is where the problem is. The inner lights are the DRL/High beams
    which do seem to be working OK.

    It looks like the Angel eye ring has slipped down to the bottom of the light assembly. I tried to reposition it from the rear of the housing
    but the tool I used stopped short of the ring, probably touching the projector lens.
    Is there a way to reposition the ring without having to remove the headlight from the car?

    Finally, is there a good source for Lighting specs for these cars. I purchased from Opti7 a set of LEDs for the high beam/DRL, their guide
    said the bulb match is a H7's... but when I removed the old bulbs they were H8's. I guess its a mounting thing.

    I really like this site.... great information.
    Oh, yes... I am a newbie!

    OK, here is a quick update! I was able to look at the headlight and discovered it is not the Angel Halo ring that has slipped... but it looks like the front of the projector lens that has dropped down.
